Show the study's own words
  • "The purpose of this study is to test the impact of a multilevel decision support intervention on informed decisions about breast MRI among high-risk Black and Latina women."
  • "The primary outcome is informed decisions about breast MRI at T1."
  • "The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the decision support intervention produces a clinically significant change in informed decisions about breast MRI."
  • "The main hypothesis is that participants receiving the decision support intervention will be more likely to make an informed decision about breast MRI v. participants receiving enhanced usual care."
  • "During intake interviews for new RLC patients, navigators will administer the NCI Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (BCRAT) via phone, enter responses into the BCRAT website in real-time, calculate lifetime breast cancer risk, and document BCRAT results in RLC's HIPAA-compliant, web-based patient tracking platform (RIPPLE©)."
  • "The BCRAT provides estimated lifetime risk for breast cancer to inform use of breast MRI, and will be used to determine study eligibility."
Compensation
Not stated
  • Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
  • Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.

About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether a decision aid helps Black and Latina women at high risk for breast cancer make informed choices about breast MRI, a scan that takes pictures of the breast. Women will be assigned by chance to get a risk check and referral to a nurse practitioner, either with or without the decision aid. Researchers will check their decisions after 1 month.

The purpose of this study is to test the impact of a multilevel decision support intervention on informed decisions about breast MRI among high-risk Black and Latina women. Participants (N=80) will be randomized to (1) enhanced usual care (risk assessment + referral to nurse practitioner) or (2) decision support (enhanced usual care + decision aid). Assessments will take place at baseline (T0) and 1-month post-intervention (T1). The primary outcome is informed decisions about breast MRI at T1.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
